Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2?


A dealer called me with an offer to sell their demo Magico M2’s at a massive discount. I was recently in their shop and tested the A5’s with my Gryphon Diablo 300, and I found the bass to be lacking with the A5’s. I think this was likely due to the fact that they had less than 250 hours on them.

My room, while not massive, is on the larger side. Vaulted ceilings that rises to 14 feet at the peak, about 26ft front to back, and open on the sides (house is open concept). There is a large and tall island that separates out the listening area.

Considering my room size, and considering my not so great experience with the A5’s, should I bother lugging my amp into the shop to test the M2’s? I have to travel a ways so it’s a bit of a commitment. But the discount they are offering is about $25k off. And they said it would include the M-Pods.  Thoughts?

Please let us know if you were able to audition the Rockports and what you thought of them.

It sounds like your budget is right around the Rockport Avior ii. I highly recommend auditioning these as well. Good luck!

I think how close to the front wall they need to be will be room dependent. I have a smaller room that needed to be custom designed to make my Aviors work. But work they do! I would bet they will work just fine in your space.

Thank you for the kind words. I’m sure whatever speaker you pick you will be very happy with the end result.

I’m sure you are going to love the 802s. I heard the 800 d3 at listen up and they sounded really good. Congratulations!
